Alcaidesa Heathland Course – Elevated Variety with Andalusian Character
Designed by Dave Thomas, former Ryder Cup player and renowned architect, the Alcaidesa Heathland Course offers a striking contrast to its coastal sibling. Opened in 2007, this par-72 layout winds through plateaus, valleys, and natural water features, delivering a dynamic round with panoramic views of the Mediterranean, Gibraltar, and the surrounding Andalusian hills.
Course Highlights
- 18 holes, par 72, stretching up to 6,373 metres from the back tees
- Plateau holes (1–5, 17–18): wide fairways, open terrain, and sea views
- Valley holes (6–16): tighter routing with lakes, streams, and elevation shifts
